The 1-hour RSI at 49 suggests that LINK is neutral, neither overbought nor oversold, while the 7-day RSI at 40 indicates a bearish trend, nearing oversold territory.

With the all-time high for LINK being $52.70, the current price represents a substantial decline, suggesting that market sentiment remains weak. The continued bearish indicators, combined with the low RSI values, reflect a market that is still adjusting to recent downward price actions and a potential lack of buying interest.

Given the current market conditions, including the negative price changes and bearish momentum, a Hold rating is recommended. This strategy allows for reassessment in the near term as technical indicators may signal a potential reversal or further decline, particularly if the price fails to maintain above the recent support level around $9.50.
